Barbados is set to welcome three British companies in the coming weeks as they explore business opportunities in housing, alternative energy construction, and business development.
This development follows a highly productive meeting between the Greater Birmingham Chamber of Commerce (GBCC) and Barbados representatives, including Deputy High Commissioner Mackie Holder and Athelston “Tony” Sealey, Special Envoy for Inward Investment and Diaspora Engagement.

Strengthening Business Ties
In addition to these companies’ planned visits, several follow-up discussions are already underway with other British businesses. Notably, the Legacy Centre of Excellence is engaging with Barbados on cultural and vocational programs, while the Birmingham Panthers, a newly revived franchise in the United Kingdom Super League, is exploring professional sporting partnerships.
Deputy High Commissioner Mackie Holder expressed enthusiasm over the strong response from Chamber members, calling it a clear sign of confidence in Barbados’ economic trajectory.
“This was one of the most positive business sessions I have experienced,” Holder remarked. “If we can maintain this momentum, both Barbados and the High Commission stand to benefit significantly.”
